Not totally made up. I'm Jewish, my 6 year old granddaughter is not, and she made a not dissimilar comment to me without being prompted by a T shirt.

Shes 6, and already recognises antisemitism and those who perpetuate it.

We all agreed cutting the ride short was a good plan. We were on a route which has reputation for being cold. Today it was cold and wet. Only 36 miles. New wheels were very good.

Got home by 1.00 so decided to go to U3A table tennis. Lots of fun. I may have to organise getting home from rides earlier on Wednesdays.

Off to the Rovers in 75 minutes. It's nights like this that bring out the diehards. Brentford on a cold, wet, Lancashire night. I must be crazy. The crowd will be well down on the average.

Our eldest son has had a crap day by the sound of it, he lives in Warrington and was on the train to Lancaster this morning, first they had an hours delay at Preston, then they got within five minutes of Lancaster and the train broke down, apparently the train in front of them brought the power lines down. When I spoke to him about four o'clock they were being towed back into Preston, he's not a happy chappy at the moment.

This is what delayed our lad.

Good morning. It's wet, dark and a miserable looking sort of day. I feel like I have a hangover yet no alcohol passed my lips yesterday.

An excellent night at the footie. Both teams played very well to contribute to a really good game. Rovers won with a truly beautiful goal started by Dack on the edge of our box and finished by him from 10 yards out. Fantastic. Compare that with Saturday's appalling game and it proves my theory one has to go as you never know when it will be great!

Mrs P is going to a craft fair with three friends today. She has commandeered my car. This means I have to take her Fiat 500 to Manchester - I really don't like this car. Not happy. I'm going Christmas shopping.

My U3A games group this afternoon. Hoping the weather doesn't put people off.
